When I was younger, Maryam, a girl who lived next door to me was rather affable. It was easy talking to her because she showed enthusiasm in everything I did. Maryam was three years older than me and had recently lost her elder sister, who died in a terrible car accident. The loss of her sister deeply affected Maryam, and her character transformed immensely. Previously being a vivacious girl, she was now lethargic, sitting at one place doing nothing. She procrastinated with everything. One day, I aspired her to try out something new instead of sitting around and doing nothing. This pushed a trigger in her memories, and she recalled her halcyon days of childhood. She laughed at the memory of her elder sister, whom everyone had loved because she was down-to-earth and not haughty.

Explanation:
W. W. Jacobs was an English author of short stories born in 1863. In the suspenseful "The Monkey's Paw," he uses elements of horror and fantasy. In the story, a mummified paw brought from India has the power to grant three wishes to three different people. However, the paw's purpose is to show people cannot rule their own lives.
J<u>acobs uses foreshadowing at several moments in the story. </u>Foreshadowing is a technique in which information is revealed that predicts or indicates what will happen later on in the story. The two examples given above foreshadow that using the paw brings nothing good.<u> The first example is a line spoken by the Sergeant who brought the paw with him. When he says the first man to use the paw used his third wish to die, he is giving us information that helps us predict the bad things to come.</u>
<u>The second example happens when Mr. White, who is now in possession of the paw, makes his first wish. The piano that is being played by his son emits a loud noise, a crash, once he makes his wish. As a matter of fact, this reveals his son will die for his wish to come true.</u>
